E. corrodens can be treated with penicillins, cephalosporins, or tetracyclines, however due to the resistant nature of the bacteria ongoing and recurring symptoms can be expected despite rigorous and prolonged antibiotic treatment. [17] Submandibular and peritonsillar abscesses caused by E. corrodens can be treated by incision and drainage. [18]
